Steve & Ollilab - Third Berlin School Jam session - eurorack mayhem

Published on Mar 20, 2016 ollilaboratories

"Ok... so ehrm, Steves modular is possibly the most massive eurorack i have seen in real life. It does not only look massive, it sounds massive... its basically doing all the sounds except for the pads on the nord and ms-20 solo sounds, simple bass on the arturia and some hihats on the TR8.. everything else you hear, even the snare drum patterns and the sampled speech is from the modular :)

we have been trying to get together for some time.. but work and other boring stuff got in the way, now finally this weekend we had the opportunity and just went with the flow.

Steve plays several sequences from his machine, and we divided these movements into two distinct parts. .with a small intermission in the middle (sort of).. to give it a story like feel.

it is _very_ psychedelic, and very BEER-lin school (yeap, we had a few).. and after 1,5 hours of jamming we recorded this one in one go.. no overdubs, all live. On the plus side is that i now also have 6 stereo tracks of the audio so we can polish the hisses and buzzes and adjust some levels if needed for a future release ... :)

And FYI, steve sets his modular up at home, noodles away.. and labels all patch cables, and puts everyting together at my place.. so there is a massive amount of prep on this one, so not a blank panel session.

So please enjoy, we have had a blast.. this will definitely be something you will hear from us again... unless steve expands his modular so that it will not fit into my studio :D :D

Cheers from the two of us!
